Vitality Made Simple

What is all the excitement about Donkey Milk?  In today’s episode, Saundra Traywick, citizen scientist and co-owner of DolceDeDonkey Dairy, shares with us the many shocking benefits of Donkey Milk.  Her healing adventure began when her daughter suffered a sudden-onset strep infection that severely impacted her cognition. After exhaustive doctor visits and hours of research, Saundra desperately tried Donkey Milk to help heal her daughter and it worked.  Easily digestible and used for centuries in the healing arts, Donkey Milk has an impressive history of helping the body heal because it helps balance the immune system and heal the gut. Used in upscale skin care products, Saundra also explained the mechanism by which some people consider it to be “better than botox” when used topically.

A certified Biological Dental Hygienist and Oral-Myofunctional Therapist, Barbara Tritz is a distinguished thought leader in the world of Oral-Systemic Medicine.  I originally heard her speak at an Oral Health Summit that I keynoted in October.  I was beyond impressed with her knowledge and fearlessness in communicating the latest research on fluoride.  For years, I was taught and believed that fluoride was essential for oral health, but now I know that I was wrong.  Initially, my eyes were opened about 15 years ago when I learned about how fluoride can impact thyroid health, but that is only the beginning!  This is a must-listen interview that you will want to share far and wide.

Life is all about relationships!  Why do I keep repeating that on a podcast about Vitality?  Physical and mental health will absolutely impact our relationships in innumerable ways. Resilient people have more energy, emotional control, and mental clarity to better relate to the people in their lives that matter.  When Jesus was asked about the most important commandment, He replied, “Love God, Love People.”  From my perspective, that order is essential and minimizes regrets at the end of life on earth.  Self care is not selfish!  It is essential in life to have the vitality to fully pour into and enjoy the many relationships that God has given us.

Is calcium really essential for strong bones and overall vitality? Author of Death by Calcium, Thomas Levy, MD, JD, challenges one of the most deeply rooted beliefs in modern nutrition as he asserts that excess calcium is not only unnecessary but can be outright dangerous. Backed by extensive research studies, Dr. Levy enthusiastically provides an eye-opening discussion of how calcium overload can contribute to a diverse range of chronic diseases from osteoporosis to cardiovascular disease to cancer.  He contends that too much calcium can accelerate aging, particularly when it is not properly balanced by other critical nutrients such as Vitamin K2 and Magnesium.  

Dr. Levy’s “super eight” include:

1. Magnesium
2. Vitamin C
3. Vitamin D3
4. Vitamin K2
5. Methylene Blue
6. Niacinamide
7. FAD (Riboflavin)
8. CoQ10

Air is for people what water is for fish. Poor air quality impacts all areas of mental and physical illness and one third of Americans live with unhealthy levels of pollution inside their homes and offices. This is a conversation that made me reevaluate the air quality in our home - especially regarding mold! With a background in disaster restoration, Michael Feldstein shares his expertise and experience in the science of evaluating this critical and often overlooked area of vitality.  Founder and CEO of JASPR, an air science technology company, he has designed an affordable (and quiet!) air purifier that senses chemicals and mold.   You can order it at www.JASPR.co.  Be sure to use my affiliate code VITALITY to save 20% until October 10 or 10% after that date.
